Greetings, Wonderful Stratton Family!!!
I am so excited about the phenomenal things we have in store for Stratton students, families, and faculty this year!
We look forward to seeing all 1st-5th grade students on Monday, August 14, 2023. Students and families are not permitted inside the building until 8:20 a.m. School officially starts at 8:40 a.m. and will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Kindergarten conferences will take place on Monday, August 14th, where the teacher will determine if your kindergarten student will start on August 15th or August 16th. No kindergarten students will start school on August 14th due to parent-teacher conferences.
This year, Stratton will be celebrating 25 years of serving the Champaign community!!! Please plan to attend our annual Back-2-School Kick-Off Event on Wednesday, August 9th, from 2:00 p.m. - to 5:00 p.m. Come out and meet our staff, support local businesses, complete registration, win free giveaways, play games, enjoy free food, join the PTA, and much, much more.

Stratton Students LEARN & USE New Words!
We are exploring a school-wide initiative to expose all students to new academic vocabulary to promote student success! Please share this word with your family and continue celebrating our students as they use and learn new words!!
AVID in Action!
AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination! This school year, we will introduce students, staff, and families to W.I.C.O.R. strategies (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading) that will support us as we develop into lifelong thinkers and learners.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or suggestions. We look forward to partnering with you this school year!
We Are Stratton Strong!!!
Sincerely,
Zipporah Gwin, Principal
